declared the liberals had not pledg

with a letter to the Scarborough elec

TURN O THE YEAR
By Katherine Tyman
This is the time when bit by bit
The days begin to lengthen sweet
And every minute gained is joy
And love stirs in the heart of a boy.
This is the time the sun, of late
Content to lie abed till eight.
Lifts up betimes his sleepy head
And love stirs in the heart of a maid.

Following a lingering illness from
which he had been more or less suf
fering for two or three years. John
Philip Horn passed away at the Broz
hospital in Rushville last Monday
morning at the age of seventy four
yea i s.
The deceased was a highly respect
ed resident of the community of Hay
Springs for nearly a half century. He
came here as a homesteader and to
gether with his family passed thru
the pioneer development stages of this
territory. For the past few years he
had been retired from active busi
ness and spent much of his time visit
ing with his friends and enjoying the
comforts of his family, most of whom
reside here.
In the fall or 18S9 Mr. Horn mov
ed into town and for the next fifteen
years conducted a livery barn busi
ness, his barn standing on the prop
erty now owned by the Riley Broth
ers pool hall and the Commercial
Hotel. Disposing of this business Mr.
Horn then engaged in the general
mercantile business, having as a part
ner Adam Staab. who still resides
in this community. Leaving this
business Mr. Horn purchased and de
veloped the property at the north
west edge of town which is now oc
cupied by Frank Kubo. The desire
to again engage in business called
him once more to Hay Springs and
this time he opened a confectionery
business and this he conducted until
it was sold to the present owners,
Lightfoot & Waterman.

The pipelines which in the past
year have been placed across ("ass
county from tbe southern boundry to
Plattsmouth where they have crossed
the Missouri river, represent a large
sum and the taxation valuation of
which set by the committee of as
sessors of the counties through which
they pass will represent $17,500 per
mile for the twenty-four inch mains
and $4,400 for the eight inch mains
which in this county will represent
closely the sum of 51,067,000.
The Missouri Valley Pipeline Co.,
has a twenty-four inch main line
that enters the county near Elmwood
while the Continental Construction
Co., has a twenty-four inch main from
Avoca north to Plattsmouth where
both lines have made their crossing
of the Missouri river, the Missouri
Valley line placing their mains on
the Plattsmouth auto bridge while
the Continental company have an
under water crossing that has been
a very extensive piece of work and
represnts an investment of hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
It is estimated that the distance
of mains in this county of the main
lines represent some thirty miles
eacb while the smaller eight inch
mains that will extend from Wabash
to Louisville will cover some ten
miles.
The pipelines are new to this sec
tion of the west and brought up the
problem of placing a valuation for
taxing purposes and the state board
has placed the figures much higher
than the company estimated they
should be for tax purposes.
The lines will make a large addi
tion to the tax producing properties
of Cass county and this will be the
! first year that they are to be placed
on the tax list.
